Note di degustazione
The 2006 Barolo Villero is less expressive and more closed in on itself than the Rocche but that is to be expected. Sensual dark spices, menthol, minerals, black cherries and plums come together beautifully in this firm, old-style Barolo. The finish boasts considerable power and richness. Patience is the key, but the future certainly seems bright for the Villero.

Patience is the key, but the future certainly seems bright for the Villero. Anticipated maturity: 2021-2036. Oddero can be hit and miss, but when the wines are on – as they increasingly are – they merit considerable attention. This is a very strong set of new releases from one of Piedmont’s historic properties. Importer: Soilair Selection, New York, NY; tel. (646) 244-4922
Castiglione Falletto. Deep maturing ruby with bright small orange rim. Very ripe, very forward and ever so slightly vegetal and oxidative even. Sweet and nondescript palate. (WS)
